The Savvy Traveler is a compilation of clouded observations, questionable travel hints, and repeatable mistakes from the road. It all started by jumping on a raft and navigating a river to a remote wooded island, only inhabited by 1 million people daily at Disneyland, Anaheim California. That is where my love of travel blossomed. That, and the adorable story that when I was but three years old on a flight to Denver from Los Angeles and I stood up in my seat exclaiming ”nice bus!” And Ambien, Ambien plays a role.
